Lawmakers & SC
UNDOUBTEDLY, legislature represents the will of people of any country. Lawmakers are not supposed to make laws against the people.
The government introduced the 24th constitutional amendment in the house on Nov 18, seeking the right to appeal in the Supreme Court’s sou motu notice.
This is against the will of the people. The Supreme Court is an independent institution, yet it holds power to take sou motu notice against any unlawful activity being carried out by any citizen or politician.
The 24th amendment will be counted as an act of injustice to the nation and an insult to democracy.
The the National Assembly must refrain from making this a law as it will be a threat to democracy and will of the public.
